Possible LCM problem? (Fixed)

That's a real shame :( Id think there is a fair bit of damage behind the plastic bumper and it will be a writeoff :( It’s going in for an evaluation on Thursday with the body shop so I’ll know what’s happening then. When you look down behind the bumper everything looks straight & the bumper is ...

Possible LCM problem? (Fixed)

Well let’s just say his 2020 Luton van needs a lot more than paint lol. That badly damaged that the passenger door wouldn’t open more than 6 inches.

Possible LCM problem?

Just a wee update… pulled the car to bits today & had a deeper look into the audio system. Removed an unknown adaptor from a rather large module with a cooling fan in the boot. After it was removed everything returned to normal. Everything works perfectly. Even the steering wheel controls have s...

Possible LCM problem?

I think most of us would suggest have a diagnostics check done using a proper tool that understands and reports the correct BMW error codes. Chasing faults on these computers on wheels is a nightmare. Your hunch is probably correct, but expensive if you’re wrong. Mirror folding issues are often cau...

Hi everyone

Have just bought a 2005 X5 3.0D Sport that has really not been well looked after by the horrible previous owners 😂
